I think it was meant tongue in cheek - gotta give him some slack here, Germans aren't known for their humour

Just an idea. Include a microfiber cloth.

Question: The side shot with the keyboard shows one side of the case is 20% longer than the other. Is that because there is a fold that fills around and velcros when the case is closed?

Are you going to put a connector on the wire between the battery and the PCB ?
(e.g.: like inside Apple iPhones which use some ZIF socket. Not like inside Braun Toothbrushes that solder the battery straight to the PCB)
It's not as user friendly as a removable backcover,
but at least it could be replaced by dis-assembling the phone only,
no need to do desoldering / resoldering of wires (with all things like heat and lithium not being very good friends together).

As the PCB is not back-cover friendly, I presume that there are no contact points for wireless charging neither ?

and add tons of hacker-friendly contacts ? :-D

Well, we'll see. Maybe one day, by the time of "Youyota phone 3", you'll be rich enough to afford the risks...

Funny, the 2k is actually a very European and non-British notation since it is a metric multiplier (and you know how long it's taking for Anglo-Saxons to catch up with the metric system).

Only because everyone here would kick off if you served them 68ml less beer!

I filled out a form at the doctor's the other day (not an important one). It asked what my weight is so I put 0.93kN

Remember that Chen already produced sliding mechanism, accepted by Motorola standards and delivered working jolla tablet.
Dual-sim shouldn't be problem for him, because market is saturated by cheap chinese smartphones with dual-sim that simply works.

What can be problem is world-wide working LTE modem. N9 got worldwide baseband. It's much more important for travelers than dual-sim IMHO.

Dual-sim is the most important thing for travellers. Local prepaid sims are very useful outside EU roaming area. I hate swapping sim cards/having two phones.

I think it very much depends on where you come from and what kind of subscriptions you have access to in your country. I travel relatively often for work and worldwide 3G or LTE is much more important for me than dual-sim.

I don't mind dual-sim at all, it can be useful to some and is inexpensive, so why not. I'm actually happy I have it on the Jolla C even though I don't need it personally, it helped me convincing my girlfriend that it was a good phone for her since she's a foreigner and did not want to give up her phone number when she moved in another country.

But in my own case, there is just no need for another SIM. I am currently an expat for two years and did not even consider changing my subscription for a local one, the subscription I have in my home country gives me unlimited international calls/texts/mms and 50 GB of fair use wherever I want (16€/month), so it works during short trips as well. Worldwide data network is by far what matters the most for me.

Yeah. But has he built à phone before? Shouldn't be. Famous last words

It will probably be fine.
